Let's implement the callback to indicate when an APQN
is in use by the vfio_ap device driver. The callback is
invoked whenever a change to the apmask or aqmask would
result in one or more queue devices being removed from the driver. The
vfio_ap device driver will indicate a resource is in use
if the APQN of any of the queue devices to be removed are assigned to
any of the matrix mdevs under the driver's control.

There is potential for a deadlock condition between the
matrix_dev->guests_lock used to lock the guest during assignment of
adapters and domains and the ap_perms_mutex locked by the AP bus when
changes are made to the sysfs apmask/aqmask attributes.

The AP Perms lock controls access to the objects that store the adapter
numbers (ap_perms) and domain numbers (aq_perms) for the sysfs
/sys/bus/ap/apmask and /sys/bus/ap/aqmask attributes. These attributes
identify which queues are reserved for the zcrypt default device drivers.
Before allowing a bit to be removed from either mask, the AP bus must check
with the vfio_ap device driver to verify that none of the queues are
assigned to any of its mediated devices.

The apmask/aqmask attributes can be written or read at any time from
userspace, so care must be taken to prevent a deadlock with asynchronous
operations that might be taking place in the vfio_ap device driver. For
example, consider the following:

1. A system administrator assigns an adapter to a mediated device under the
    control of the vfio_ap device driver. The driver will need to first take
    the matrix_dev->guests_lock to potentially hot plug the adapter into
    the KVM guest.
2. At the same time, a system administrator sets a bit in the sysfs
    /sys/bus/ap/ap_mask attribute. To complete the operation, the AP bus
    must:
    a. Take the ap_perms_mutex lock to update the object storing the values
       for the /sys/bus/ap/ap_mask attribute.
    b. Call the vfio_ap device driver's in-use callback to verify that the
       queues now being reserved for the default zcrypt drivers are not
       assigned to a mediated device owned by the vfio_ap device driver. To
       do the verification, the in-use callback function takes the
       matrix_dev->guests_lock, but has to wait because it is already held
       by the operation in 1 above.
3. The vfio_ap device driver calls an AP bus function to verify that the
    new queues resulting from the assignment of the adapter in step 1 are
    not reserved for the default zcrypt device driver. This AP bus function
    tries to take the ap_perms_mutex lock but gets stuck waiting for the
    waiting for the lock due to step 2a above.

Consequently, we have the following deadlock situation:

matrix_dev->guests_lock locked (1)
ap_perms_mutex lock locked (2a)
Waiting for matrix_dev->gusts_lock (2b) which is currently held (1)
Waiting for ap_perms_mutex lock (3) which is currently held (2a)

To prevent this deadlock scenario, the function called in step 3 will no
longer take the ap_perms_mutex lock and require the caller to take the
lock. The lock will be the first taken by the adapter/domain assignment
functions in the vfio_ap device driver to maintain the proper locking
order.

Comment's function name does not match real function name. Also APQN "c", from
description does not appear to exist.

No, it definitely does not match and the 'c' is an extraneous typo. I'll fix both.

This part of the comment does not seem to match reality. Unless I'm missing
something? Did you mean to call mutex_trylock? Or is the comment stale?

The comment was written prior to the changes introduced to avoid the locking
dependency (i.e., taking the ap_perms_mutex lock by the assignment functions
which I believe was your suggestion). I shall remove the comment.

With both changes made...
